Flash Player/HTML5

People seem to be using Flash Player less and less these days and as some forum goers have mentioned preferring HTML5 over the rather insecure Adobe alternative i thought it would be a good idea to ask.

Just a little 2016 bump.
I've often thought starting this thread. If it is a relatively simple plug in it would be nice since Youtube uses html5 almost exclusively these days anyway and that is the only video that can be embedded.

Flash is becoming increasingly marginalised and unnecessary, along with being an ongoing security concern. A lot of people either understandably choose not to use it or use a device where it is not an option to use it.

It would certainly make the listening too/videos thread more interesting :

People are reporting that it the html5 player is not working at all in the videos of awesome thread, even with flash disabled. The videos are replaced with a half a Y asking to view on you-tube or they are being told to install flash.

YouTube <object> embeds were deprecated on January 27, 2015. Please migrate your applications to use <iframe> embeds, which can intelligently use whichever embedded player – HTML (<video>) or Flash (<object>) – the client supports.
